While there Il seeming concord between
the two courts, the war Of determination
against everything German Is ever To-
crossing in Russia. This action on the
part OF Russia results in intense bitterness
against that country In Berlin, where the
'eading journals talk OF reprisals and SELF
defence. The first symptom OF this feeling

a Government which virtually expltriates

creditors n war furnished the necessary

| Is still more alarming. It says that IN the
event Of war with Germany, which
many Influential persons In Russia
are striving to bring about, a stroke

the Germans OF all their sinegs OF war In
